Monty Python's Holy Grail
 

Is it just me? I don't see what's so funny about it! Chris has been bugging me to watch that damn movie for a week...Help! I'm running out of excuses! :1orglaugh

me niether

its just a rabbit..

but its got BIG SHOP TEETH

Just watch it, it's fucking hilarious! :1orglaugh

I've tried...I find it lame! Maybe it's because I'm sober???

It's british humor... An aquired taste.

I just saw Gilliam's Lost In La Mancha.

Python is not for everyone.

But their humor <i>is</i> bold and original, and that film had more... balls... than any film I can think of.

Take note of the French.

Bring out your dead!

What's not to love about the movie?

memorized.

:glugglug

You should smoke a huge fatty for sure !

Yes, it requires intelligence. :1orglaugh

what is your favorite colour?


blue .... no red


WWAAAAAA

'you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you!'

:glugglug

I second that!
One of the funniest movies ever made, and definitely on the "must watch" list!

"I'm not dead yet!!!"

Chapman studied medicine at Emmanuel College, Cambridge. After mounting his own cabaret show, he was invited to join the Cambridge Footlight Society at the same time as first year student John Cleese. Eric Idle joined them one year later. (David Frost was secretary at that time)

He qualified as a doctor at St.Bartholomew's hospital in London.

Chapman put his medical career on hold and joined John Cleese on his tour with "Cambridge Circus", which ran on Broadway in Oct. 1964.

In England, he wrote for the "Doctor"-Series together with Bernard McKenna and John Cleese. He Met Michael Palin and Terry Jones while writing for "The Frost Report", but he also worked with Marty Feldman, Peter Sellers and Ringo Starr. At one Time he was writing for Monty Python, Ronnie Corbett and a "Doctor"-Series at the same time, together with Eric Idle and Barry Cryer.

Later he worked with Douglas Adams, they collaborated on a BBC special titled "Out of the trees".

After stopping drinking, he turned to his own project before filimg "Life of Brian": He produced, cowrote and starred "The Odd Job", which was released in 1978.

After Monty Python, he created "Yellowbeard" (a pirate spoof), the cast consisting of John Cleese, Peter Cook, Cheech and Chong, Peter Boyle, Madeline Kahn, Eric Idle and Keneth Mars.

"No thanks, we've got one!"

Your mother was a hamster and your father smells of elderberries! Now go away before I taunt you a second time!

So you are saying that Funbrunette is not an intelligent person.

I happen to think that Monty Python is hillarious.

?Come back here, yellow bellied cowards. I?ll bite your legs off!?


:1orglaugh

Funniest movie in the history of cinema.

"I fart in your general direction!"

"I'm not dead, actually I'm feeling better":glugglug

"But I don't want to get on the cart!"

"Don't be such a baby."

"Come back here so I may taunt you a second timmmmme!"

:thumbsup :thumbsup

Monty Python & phatties go very well together...

:thumbsup

The movie is fucking great! Absolutely fabulous!

The Monty Python crew are also ex University lads, they came out of Cambrdige Footlight shows. So it's not everyones tastes.

I love the film and Life of Brian. When you shoot MPHG down tell us which film is your favoutite comedy.

I almost pissed myself at this part...

Black Knight: Oh, had enough eh?
Arthur: Look, you stupid bastard. You've got no arms left!
Black Knight: Yes I have.
Arthur: Look!
Black Knight: Just a flesh wound!

Then he cut his legs off too. Man, if you don't find that scene funny...

:glugglug

The black knight always triumphs!

only funny scene of the movie.
but very funny part. :thumbsup

INDEED!

:thumbsup

The N.Y. Times proclaimed "The Holy Grail" as a defining moment in cinema! "Movies will never be the same again after this one!"

And man..were they right.
If you only had so long to live..and had the chance to watch one movie..then this IS the one for you.

It is FANTABULOUS!

Ni! Ni! Ni!

You wipers of other people's bottoms

you must not be a geek...don't worry not everyone can be a geek like us.

Have you seen Life Of Brian? Did you find that funny or do you generally have a Python block?

it's just a flesh wound!

she turned me into a newt!

:thumbsup

If witchs burn what are they made out of?
WOOOOOOODDD

DUCKS, YEAAAAAAA
Ok, so if she weighs as much a duck that makes her.....

French guy: Where did you get those coconuts?
Sir Camalot: I found them.
French guy: In the middle of england?


What is the air speed veliocity of a african swallow?

Ever seen the video of his funeral? The speeches were hilarious. Quite impressive, imo.

your grandmother smells of elderberries. now shoo, or i shall taunt you a second time!

huge python fan, live organ donations anyone? :thumbsup


edit: there's a "w" in "now".

you know you are a geek groupie when half of these lines you have heard during foreplay and the other half you have said yourself.

Like the song goes.... "everybody must get stoned" I like Monty personally, maybee its your delicate condition??:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Python is definitely an acquired taste, all British comedy is, for North Americans. When I was a kid, i couldn't stand it when I'd see any of it on PBS. Then I saw Holy Grail as a teenager, brilliant. And Life of Brian is my favorite. Even the last movie they did had brilliantly funny parts.

Speaking of Holy Grail, that is EXACTLY what I thought of first when I first saw Baghdad Bob! The Black Knight - Baghdad Bob is the Black Knight! in complete denial, Black Knight is still issuing threats despite having lost all his limbs just like Baghdad Bob was doing talking about drowning the infidels in their own blood meanwhile Baghdad was falling with barely a fight behind him.

Baghad Bob would be hysterical played by Cleese.

Here are my rankings for sketch comedy troups:

Second City SCTV
Monty Python
Early Saturday Night Live

Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?

Come see the violence inherent within the system! HELP! HELP! I'm being repressed!

One. Two. Five.
